MaryHill State Park

After leaving Spokane on October 19, we spent a few days at MaryHill State Park on the Columbia River .



Spent an afternoon in the MaryHill Museum.


Here is the park.  Washington State Parks are wonderful!  Spacious, well maintained and beautiful.


Mount Hood in the distance.

The journey begins...

For the last year and a half we have been preparing for this beginning.  Slowly but surely emptying and letting go.  Toward the end, the slow and sure became fevered and stressed as we attended to the details of getting our house ready for a new family and our new home ready for us.  And now the end has been reached and the journey begins.  

We are now living in our 35 foot Bighorn 5th wheel and taking a breath before we set sail to a life of big adventures.  Our first adventure is not too far from the familiar....we are at Riverside State Park. We'll stay here for a few days to wait for our ballots so we can vote and leave Spokane in capable hands while we travel the country.  

Riverside is not too shabby a place to stay.  This time of year it's beautiful and peaceful...the call of geese flying south, the smell of wood smoke in the air, the brilliant golds and russets of life letting go, the quiet and stillness.  It feels so good to breathe and relax.
